I’ve purchased a total of 3 suits, 5 dress shirts, 2 belts and 4 pairs of shoes from M2M so far. I was a big skeptic about the whole “made to measure” process having been disappointed by other retailers/tailors in the past. But based on my first order from M2M, I can confidently give you 3 reasons why you SHOULD buy from them AND feel good about your investment in bespoke clothing vs. Off-the-rack.
Reason #1: Hugo.
Part owner, so you know he cares about his reputation, as well as his business. Hugo knows his stuff and made me feel comfortable right from the moment I sat down in his Tycos showroom. He didn’t try to “upsell me” or push only high-end fabrics at me; instead he took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and helped me pick out the colours and fabric that fit my budget and style. I ended up buying more from him, and I can tell you a big part of that is because of how knowledgeable and trustworthy this man is.
Reason #2: Fit > Label
I was big on labels. But discovered an essential truth about men’s fashion. From 10 ft out, no one can tell the label of your suit; whether it’s designer or not. But they CAN tell when your clothes don’t fit. And when you’re in the boardroom or giving speeches on stage as often as I do, nobody notices whether you’re wearing Armani or Hugo. But they do notice when your jacket’s too big, or your pant breaks are too long or short. You want confidence? Start with investing in clothes that fit, right.
Gentlemen (and ladies) – heed my advice; invest in the right fit for your clothes, and give that priority over the label. For me, when I absolutely need it to be just perfect, I’ll be coming back to M2M.
Reason #3: Price
I came across M2M by accident. Surfing Yelp and Google, I discovered shops like Garrison, Empire, Indochino, and Harry Rosen (bespoke). I recall being ready to bite the bullet and put down $5K + for a suit, when I happened to stumble upon M2M. I couldn’t believe the price: for roughly the same as what I would pay at Brooks Brothers, Hugo Boss or private label Harry Rosen (or similar retailers) I could afford a M2M Bespoke suit. And based on the few reviews I saw on google, yelp and this site, I decided to give it a try; given the price difference I didn’t have anything to lose.
Gentlemen, the suit I got was great. It fits like a glove. The colour is perfect; and the detailing is so personal and unique to me. And for roughly the same price as high-end retail where I’m limited in my choices, I can’t imagine going back to “off-the-rack” for any of my “must-win” clothes. For this price, I’d rather my clothes fit and be personalized just for me.
Based on my experience with Hugo, prioritizing the right fit over designer labels, and the price point – are 3 reasons why I will be coming back for more.and hopefully, are 3 more reasons for you to try them out for yourself.
